What causes thick tongue coating in children?

In today's society, with more and more only children, every baby is the darling of the family. Anything related to the baby, no matter how big or small, can affect the nerves of the whole family. At the same time, as there are more and more children's diseases, many children have various physical problems due to various reasons. Therefore, parents are paying more and more attention to it. Take the symptom of thick tongue coating for example.

Not only adults but children can also have thick tongue coating. Thick tongue coating in young children is also a very common phenomenon. This condition will occur when the baby has a fever. Let us understand what is going on with thick tongue coating in young children.

Mothers can eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water to prevent breast milk from being too fiery. The diet of mothers during breastfeeding is extremely important. Pay more attention to it for the sake of your child.

Give your child an appropriate amount of water. When my daughter was young, she didn't like to drink any water and didn't want a bottle. I thought of many ways and finally found a good one: use a bottle to measure the amount of water the child needs every day, remember how much water you give the child each time, write it down in a notebook or a calendar, find a very small spoon, and use a small spoon to send warm water to the child's mouth every time you breastfeed. Be careful not to choke the child. Be sure to use a small spoon. When the child is sucking the nipple, use the small spoon to gently press the top of the nipple, and the water will flow along the nipple into the child's mouth. Generally, the child will not choke. I used this method for several months, but after the child was a little older, she understood what was going on as soon as I took the spoon and would push it aside, so I started to change her method, making tomato soup three times a day, and she loved to drink it.

Babies are the apple of their mother's eye, so mothers always try their best to give their children the best care. However, sometimes minor illnesses and pains are inevitable, even with the best care. So when there is a thick tongue coating, mothers don't need to panic too much. Some things are normal. If you are really worried, consult a relevant doctor.
